Clydebank Co-operative Society


The Clydebank Co-operative Society Limited is the smallest consumers' co-operative in Scotland, based in the town of Clydebank near Glasgow. Along with Scotmid and The Co-operative Group, it is one of three co-operative retailers in Scotland, and the only one not merged into a regional or national society.
Unusually for co-operatives in the United Kingdom, it is not a member of Co-operatives UK. However, in its founding year of 1881, it joined the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society.
Until 2013, Clydebank Co-op had buying arrangements with the Co-operative Retail Trading Group, a buying group managed by The Co-operative Group, the successor of SCWS, which also manages The Co-operative brand.
In 2013/2014, Clydebank Co-op left the CRTG, agreeing to buy from local wholesaler JW Filshill, and co-brand its six stores with Filshill's KeyStore brand.

Stores

, the society operates seven food stores ranging from just over 6,500 square feet at Dunn Street, to its smallest,, at Great Western Road & Sylvania Way South, Clydebank
In 2014, it closed its Hardgate food store, reducing the number of its food stores from seven to six. The Hardgate store later reopened as a Co-op/KeyStore More and continues to trade.
